Trump says he was not watching live TV coverage of Capitol Hill riot

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday night denied that he was watching live television coverage of the deadly Capitol Hill riot.

Trump was responding to a Washington Post story that claimed he was “watching it all unfold” on Jan. 6 in the White House as chaos erupted at the Capitol.

“That’s incorrect reporting,” Trump told Fox News’ Steve Hilton.

Nicely edited! Not. Further into the story Trump said he was watching ... later....that could have been anytime. The J6 mob seemed to accept testimony that he was watching TV. Too many different stories and accounts, as usual. But you need to track all of them to be in the know.

He’s their greatest asset he’s done more for the attempted Russian conquest (extermination) of Ukraine than the Russian army has Ben able to do its deeply saddening to see the GOP brought to its knees by this traitor

And Ukraine forced to a stalemate by a traitorous congress doing Trump's and Putin's bidding and refusing to fund more ammo.

 

The republicans were in favour of strong support for Ukraine until Trump hijacked their ethics. The GOP has become an evil, fascist supporting entity.

Bellows made the ruling after some state residents, including a bipartisan group of former lawmakers, challenged Trump’s position on the ballot.

 

“I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”

Maybe it's only for a primary, but it does indicate where sentiment lies.

Given that 10x as many journalists identify today as Dems than Repubs, it's tough to find fair and balanced reporting.  Compare that to the first iteration of this occasional study from 50 years ago, when journalists better reflected the general public.  Sadly, the media has gone from the 4th estate, keeping politicians honest, to a propaganda arm of one party.

 

I get news from Fox, from Newsmax, from RT and from AlJazeera.  Along with CNN and others (still can't stomach MSNBC).  Because they generally get the facts right, even if their interpretation is skewed.  And that's the start of a deeper search for other sources.  

 

For those of us who sense that the "news" we're getting is more and more slanted, this study 'splains a lot.  For those who don't get that sense, I have to wonder why...

The real problem is not that the judges should ban this incompetent moron, but the voters. Then problem solved.

 

For me it's incredible that somebody with such a horrible and repulsive character is loved by so many REPUB LICAN (idiotic) people. Is that ignorance or even stupidity??? A shame for the US.

The share of 'independent' journalists has grown from 32.5% to 51.7%. It contradicts the claim that Media are increasingly left-wing. If your reasoning is relevant, this study shows that they are increasingly unbiased.

Trump remains on MI state ballot

 

Michigan Court of Appeals wrote

 

It's only a matter of time before this lame and obvious election interfering tactic by Biden and the blue state SoS trying to decide who the election candidates are in US elections gets tossed by the SCOTUS and Bidens attempts to take down Trump and DEMOCRACY in true banana republic fashion is exposed again as just another humiliating Biden failure it is resulting in Trumps approval seeing additional upward bumps in the polls. Biden is a loser, cannot get anything right and American voters have had enough of his lies, corruption and banana republic antics. But hey, Biden's legacy continues on even though it's less impressive than a turd floating in the punch bowl.

Thanks for another rant. Actually if you knew anything about supreme Court's decisions on the powers of state courts, you'd know that the conservatives on the court find themselves in quite a bind. Their decisions I've tended to support federalism and find that States supreme Court's have a lot of leeway in making decisions. Still, given the obvious proRepublican prejudices which animate so many of their decisions, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the supreme Court found in favor of trump.

Good idea to remind us about Trump's trip to Irak, as it confirms again that Trump is a full liar!  😆

 

You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years. More than 10 years!” he told a crowd of applauding service members during his remarks at Al Asad Air Base in Iraq on Wednesday. “And we got you a big one. I got you a big one.”

Trump has repeatedly claimed that troops hadn’t seen a pay raise during President Barack Obama’s time in the White House. In fact, troops have seen a pay raise of at least 1 percent every year for more than 30 years.

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2018/12/27/in-iraq-visit-trump-makes-false-claim-about-military-pay-again/

 

 

Trump bragged to troops about 10 percent pay raise that they have not received

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/423013-trump-bragged-about-10-percent-pay-raise-he-didnt-give-to-troops/

You guys just can't get it right, IMO. The voters ( other than his base ) don't, IMO, love him- they just despise the alternative.

The answer in a typical TRUMP-style: get aggressive (without a real reason), if you are not able to accept or recognise facts you don't like.

 

You seem to forget that Trump was not chosen as POTUS with the majority of the votes., but by more than 3 million less.

Supreme Court gets stern warning to butt out of Trump ballot challenges

 

As he wrote, "The U.S. Supreme Court needs to understand that the disqualification of former President Donald J. Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from running again for President of the United States is going exactly as it should."

 

Explaining, "states have primary power over administering federal elections with Congress also possessing authority to regulate how the elections are run," he added that "the fact that who can run, who can vote and the 'time place and manner' in which voting takes place varies from state to state is normal—and, arguably, the high court need not concern itself with these issues."

 

With that in mind, he warned the justices it would be better to not interfere and put themselves in a highly political position that would further erode the court's reputation.

Your again making up stuff and have no knowledge of American politics. You do a great job repeating Fox News though.  Please don't stop though as those that respond are golden with refuting your posts. Try sticking to  your own BS from your own country, where you might have insight.
